I find myself somewhat lusting after that bottom bass. Beautiful wood and gorgeous clean lines. Has it got a piezo pickup in the bridge?

they appear in my thread about tone, and there is no doubt that these are not only beautiful, but tone monsters as well, they are awesome! Bone bridge for the win!Quote:

These do appear on another thread, but deserve to be here in their own right. And made by DB himself!

This gorgeous thing from Skervesen Guitars.

30.3 inch scale, one piece mahogany body, poplar burl top.
That burl top is outrageous, in fact that guitar is pretty outrageous.

Wow Brendan.... When did you sneak my beasties in?.... only just spotted them 8O
Lawry, the Bass in question has the EMG HZ hidden under the top... there is a wafer thin section of the top left.
It was very stressful routing out the cavity as I was worried I would cut through and spoil the beautiful Spalted Black Sassafras top!
This one, known as Mr Tim's Bass of extreme sexiness was a collaborative effort between our very own Tim (builder of the stunning Midnight Bass) and I.
Tim designed and I built her.
DB Figured that they fully deserve to be here - if I'm looking for inspiration, this thread and GOTM are the first two stops.
Tim's bass of extreme sexiness sure lives up to it's name.
That's amazing, DB.Quote:

Tell me about the bridge. Is it a floater? I'm curious about action and intonation adjustments (yeah, I know, it's fretless - but you've still got to get these things closer than ball-park).
not sure if I have seen Mr Tim's bass DB, I've seen the templates. It certainly is a spectacular looking bass. How thin is the timber above the pickup DB ? must have been some serious nerves routing that close to the cap !
The Blue Meanie or whatever has unreal flame etc, but the price tag is plain silly IMO.
The Skervesen looks stunning, but the headstock seems incongruous with the body shape IMO.
The Mayones effort has a truly dazzling grain the redefines "popping" HTF is it achieved?
The DB sexy sassafras is the absolute epitome of elegance & clean lines IMO.
The DB violin bass is just superbly crafted and makes want get started on my "fiddle" guitar.
That's my two shillings' worth . . . .
